159 Silver Bracelet
"Why are you coming to my house so late at night?"
Gao Qinghe stood at the door, her beautiful eyes scanning the man at the door with suspicion.
He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, black Dacron trousers, and white sneakers, standing straight with his hands hanging at his sides.
Her hair looked freshly washed, and the breeze brought a fresh fragrance.
The pure eyes with shy expectation are like those of an innocent boy.
Zhou Zhenghua's good color is indeed rare in the market.
At this moment, Gao Qinghe suddenly understood why she was so desperate for him when she was young in her previous life.
Unfortunately, once a woman has experience, it is difficult for her to be attracted by a simple and beautiful appearance.
Zhou Zhenghua stared at the woman in the moonlight, and when he heard her cough, he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Qing He, knowing that you are getting married, I sincerely wish you well."
Zhou Zhenghua looked sincere, but he couldn't hide the insincere twitching in the corners of his eyes.
This was not his true feelings, and his heart was bleeding as he said it.
But he knew that if he didn't say that, the person inside would just close the door.
Gao Qinghe was surprised: "You came here so late at night just to bless me?"
Thinking she wanted to hear something else, Zhou Zhenghua immediately looked over with an expectant look, "Don't you want my blessing?"
Gao Qinghe smiled faintly, without responding to his words or looking into his expectant eyes, but simply pointed to the yard next door.
"I accept your blessing. If everything is fine, you can go back."
Just as Zhou Zhenghua was about to speak, Gao Qinghe continued, "It's late at night, I don't want anyone to misunderstand."
He was stunned by these words, a look of hurt appeared on his face, but his feet were rooted to the ground, unable to move.
Gao Qinghe frowned, "Are you still not leaving?"
"We've known each other for twenty years, and you're so eager for me to leave?" Zhou Zhenghua stared at her with a slightly angry tone.
Gao Qinghe was surprised again. "Are you deaf or blind? Isn't it obvious to me? If you insist on me saying it myself, I wish you'd just get out of here! I get annoyed just by the sight of you!"
Zhou Zhenghua felt as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart, causing him to tremble uncontrollably from the pain.
He swallowed hard, took out an exquisite jewelry box from his trouser pocket and handed it to her.
"Qing He, I don't know why you have to say such hurtful words, but I want to tell you that I will never forget our twenty years of love."
"In this world, there are feelings besides love, friendship and family. We grew up together. You and I will never have another friendship like this again in this life. If you don't cherish it, I will!"
Seeing that she did not come to receive his gift, Zhou Zhenghua opened the box himself, and there were two silver bracelets inside.
"Whether you believe it or not, I really mean it and I hope you're happy."
"Here we have the custom of brothers giving their sisters some makeup. If you still recognize me as your brother, please accept these silver bracelets..."
"What if you don't acknowledge it? Should I just throw it away?"
Without waiting for Zhou Zhenghua to finish his words, Gao Qinghe immediately asked back.
She looked serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.
Zhou Zhenghua opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Are you really going to break up with me?"
Gao Qinghe shook his head, "It's too much to say you're breaking up with me."
Zhou Zhenghua smiled and said, "Then take it. I picked it out especially for you. It will definitely look good on you."
The silver bracelet sparkled beautifully in the moonlight.
Gao Qingya was moved and looked forward to her sister accepting it so that she could borrow it to wear.
Unexpectedly, her sister was smiling and her face suddenly became gloomy.
"Zhou Zhenghua, please stop being so affectionate, okay?"
Gao Qinghe lowered his eyes and glanced at the bracelet lightly, and said sarcastically:
"Who are you trying to annoy by bringing the silver bracelet you gave me to the Jiang family? Are you afraid that my husband won't quarrel with me?"
Gao Qinghe felt that she needed to get to know the man in front of her again.
With a righteous face, she does such a despicable thing. She is a green tea and scheming person.
His hidden thoughts were exposed, and Zhou Zhenghua's face showed a moment of panic.
But he quickly regained his innocent and sincere demeanor and excitedly explained, "Qinghe, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that!"
Gao Qinghe didn't want to hear his explanation, so she raised her hand and pointed behind him, "You're in such a mess at home, and you still have the mood to give me a bracelet? You're incredible."
"We are still friends, right?" Zhou Zhenghua asked hurriedly.
The answer he received was the door slamming shut.
"Brother Zhenghua, what are you doing there?"
Ouyang Yan's puzzled question sounded behind her.
Zhou Zhenghua hurriedly hid the silver bracelet in his trouser pocket, turned around a little embarrassedly, shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything."
"Didn't you go to bed? Why are you out?"
Zhou Zhenghua walked over and asked with a natural smile.
After a moment of panic, he calmed down.
He didn't do anything wrong and didn't let anyone down, so why should he be so anxious?
Can't there be pure friendship between men and women?
He and Qing He were innocent and there was nothing fishy going on. He just wanted to save their friendship.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhenghua simply took out the bracelet hidden in his pocket and showed it to Ouyang Yan.
Without waiting for his wife to question him, he said, "Qing He and I grew up together, and there are no girls in our family, so I have always treated her as my own sister."
"According to our custom, brothers will give their sisters jewelry as a dowry, so I bought this bracelet to give to her."
At this point, Zhou Zhenghua sighed in disappointment, "But she didn't want it."
Ouyang Yan should have felt happy, after all, her husband had nothing to hide from her.
But she felt very upset.
"Why doesn't she want it?"
Ouyang Yan wanted to open the jewelry box to see what the silver bracelet inside looked like. Was it too ugly?
Zhou Zhenghua’s taste in choosing gifts cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be quite awful!
From the time they knew each other until now, he had never touched her heart.
Zhou Zhenghua didn't dare let her see it. His intuition told him that his wife would definitely be angry with him if she saw it.
But he was too slow and the box was opened by Ouyang Yan.
A pair of silver bracelets with twined lotus patterns. The patterns were hammered out slowly by the old silversmith with one hammer, and they are delicate and exquisite.
The pure silver-white color looks very textured, not like the cheap stuff sold by gram in silver shops.
"She doesn't want such a beautiful girl?"
Zhou Zhenghua heard Ouyang Yan's tone change and quickly said, "If you like it, wear it."
Ouyang Yan subconsciously felt happy: "Really give it to me?"
But when Zhou Zhenghua helped her put it on, she suddenly felt a strong sense of grievance in her heart.
"You've never given me such a beautiful silver bracelet." Ouyang Yan suddenly accused with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Zhenghua coaxed: "Isn't this given to you?"
Ouyang Yan refused to wear it and took off the bracelet and threw it to Zhou Zhenghua, "You only gave it to me if she didn't want it. I don't want it anymore!"
She turned around and walked into the room angrily, thinking that Zhou Zhenghua would come in immediately to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, he put the bracelet on the table, fetched water to wash his face and feet, and went to sleep.
Ouyang Yan couldn't believe it. Looking at the "dead man" lying beside her, tears of grievance flowed all over the pillow.
